La Remise de la Mordorée Rouge Sans Sulfites 2021
Tavel, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceA carbon copy of last year, if not better, and honestly the best Vin de France I have ever tasted. It is made with no added sulphites so that ageing might be dodgy, but it is so tasty now, so why bother waiting? It comes off a sixteen year old vineyard, and the blend is hand-harvested, 50/50, marselan/grenache (Demeter certified biodynamic) grown over sand with a bit of clay. The vinification is simple: they destem the fruit, crush it, and ferment and macerate it for 20 days. The palate is soft and silky with intense, pure black cherry. There is a minimal amount of tannin with a peppery finish. Food friendly.Tasted: 30 July 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $32.99 | 750ml | BCLS - coming September 2023 |
